Our presentation programme

Machinery Directive becomes Machinery Regulation! What will change for you?

The new EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 will replace the existing Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which has been in force since 29.12.2009. It was published in the EU Official Journal on 29 June 2023 and enters into force in January 2027. Manufacturers and operators now have time to familiarise themselves with the new Machinery Regulation. If you compare the automation and engineering of today with the requirements and technologies of 14 years ago, it is clear that the revision is more than sensible. Digitisation and networking, as well as the new related issues of Industrial Security and Artificial Intelligence, have significantly changed factory halls and the plant and machinery within them. Other changes that need to be noted will be covered in the presentation.

What we offer for the Machinery Regulation

The new Machinery Regulation is on its way – but what actual impact will it have on your processes? In this presentation we’ll show how you as a machine manufacturer or operator can best prepare, and how we can support you. On the one hand, it’s a matter of integrating the Machinery Regulation meaningfully into your processes. On the other hand, projects must be adjusted and planned to the new specifications in good time.

Safety and Security on the machine – With the right access management, you’re on the safe side

Protecting the human from the machine is enshrined in the current Machinery Directive. With the new Machinery Regulation, Security measures to protect against manipulation also become mandatory. Using a case study, we explain how you can resolve both Safety and Security tasks in compliance with the standards, using the electronic maintenance safeguarding system Key-in-pocket.

Safety guard locking devices for process and personnel protection – How do I find the right solution for my safety gate?

EN ISO 14119 regulates the requirements on movable guards. When it comes to finding the right safety guard locking device, criteria such as the type of safety gate, the installation situation or the question of manipulation protection have an important role to play. Find out more about how to find the optimum solution for your application, so you work safely and economically.

IO-Link Safety – Intelligent, safe communication up to field level

With IO-Link Safety, it is possible to use the open market standard for sensor communication (IO-Link) also for functional safety. In addition to the classic IO-Link benefits, such as simplified installation due to standardised wiring or expanded diagnostic options, IO-Link Safety also offers significant benefits in the area of safety. In the presentation you’ll discover more about its functionality and application in practice.
